My Edge doesn't perform that way. Only Firefox. I can't locate a setting in Edge to do the conversion. I think there might be an extension that does it, but my Edge is relatively base. Firefox has a few extensions on it, none that I see mentions playing around with the URL. Now, there are mentions of a UTF-8 setting in Firefox to disable the conversion. Several links point to this that are 12 years old.
